Enfield no.4 donor project

Post by mickb » 20 Jun 2020, 9:19 pm

Fellas, wondered if there were any stores more likely have some old no.4 beaters available? I'm after one for a project which will replace the barrel anyway, so looking to save a few bucks if I can find one going cheap.

I restocked and re-barreled my No4. The ATI stock is of good quality, and it shoots excellent groups. It's not going to win any handsome rifle awards but for bush bashing it will be perfect.

Hey stoney, not trying to derail the thread, but I'm competing with a no4 currently (great gun btw), but mine has a Swan barrel. Just curious, what sort of groups will your sporterized no4 there shoot?
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

G'day in2anity, it shoots under 1" groups@100 although it has been re-chambered to 7x57R. TSE barrel. Gotta love the No4 :thumbsup:
